Screaming Females share new video for “I’ll Make You Sorry” and announce UK tour!

Mar 10, 2018

New Jersey DIY-punk luminaries Screaming Females have been making music and demolishing stages for over a decade as a formative piece of the current explosion of LGBTQ women playing rock music. The band released their blistering seventh studio album All At Once, on 23rd February on Don Giovanni Records. In celebration, the band has released the new “I’ll Make You Sorry” video which was created with famed director Lance Bangs (Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs).

All At Once is a reminder there’s a hopeful and joyful energy to underground music-making. Now more than a decade into its existence, Screaming Females can claim something that few of their peers possess in a comparable capacity: experience. “When you’ve been a band for 12 or 13 years, the resources can dry up and you just go back to what feels comfortable,” explains Dougherty. “The other option is that you develop stuff that a younger band would not have been able to do.” All At Once is the evidence of that growth — in its sprawl and scope, but also in its subtleties. Patience, perseverance, and long term dedication still work.

The band collaborated with producer Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Mastodon), setting out to make an album in the spirit of a salon-style gallery show, where larger pieces provide an eye-level focal point to a galaxy of smaller works. Concision took a back-seat to experimentation, with arrangements meant to evoke the energy and spontaneity of their live performances.
